Research Review: Chaotic households undermine children’s development of executive functioning through less responsive parenting

In this episode, a research study referenced on psypost.org caught my eye and I wanted to share it and talk about how it reflects what I see in the playroom at my practice and my interaction with parents. In the research they make three points. First that executive functioning is compromised. I explain what that means and how it affects kids. Next, how parental responsiveness influences outcomes. Finally, how academic success is affected.   Links from this episode: Chaotic households undermine children’s development of executive functioning through less responsive parenting
